I'm thinking, the setlist nerd that you are, that we should put you on the spot and start naming off songs to see if you know what the last date was it was played. "Ultraviolet...definitely 28 August 1993, definitely, definintely." Actually, you could show off your setlist smarts with us!

Heh, that'd be great fun, thouh I'm not quite sure I'd be up to that - for some songs, I know the date, while others I know the city. Amusingly, the ones I know the best are songs that ended their live careers on ZooTV or Popmart, the two worst tours as far as setlist variety was concerned. When I'm poring over setlists, I'm often found reading JT/Lovetown and Elevation sets.

I once wrote an essay on the history of 11 O'clock Tick Tock live, though ...

Ian McCulloch the U2 fan:
"Who buys U2 records anyway? It's just music for plumbers and bricklayers. Bono, what a slob. You'd think with all that climbing about he does, he'd look real fit and that. But he's real fat, y'know. Reminds me of a soddin' mountain goat."
"And as for Bono, he needs a colostomy bag for his mouth."
